More than 30 years ago, Atari released "E.T. The Extraterrestrial." The game was quickly identified as poorly made.The gaming community was outraged that they spent money on such a worthless game. This game is an example of popular culture. It was mass produced for many people even though it was poorly made. E.T. is an adventure game in which players control an alien (E.T.) from a top-down perspective. The objective of the game is to collect three pieces of an interplanetary telephone.Ultimately, E.T. uses these collected pieces to "phone home." However, the game is to simple, the graphics were poor, and was not well received by the gaming community.
The old Atari game cartridges were found in a dump by people making a film about the game company. I'm sure the companies most memorable screw-up will make for interesting footage. Film director Zak Penn was excited to find such classic memorabilia and they also found other old products of Atari's. However, they left those products secret for their movie. So, what else (Atari related) do you think was found in the dump?
